Shelter from the Storm (SFS) provides a structured living environment for recently released male ex-offenders. The program provides residents with housing for up to six months, assistance with finding employment, and life-skill training. Most importantly, SFS gives its residents an opportunity to develop and strengthen their relationship with God through Bible studies, church attendance, and fellowship with other Christians. SFS receives more applications than they can possibly house, so offering funds will go toward expanding available bed spaces. Additionally, they do not have a facility that can accommodate females. Funds will also go toward facilitating the purchase of two similar homes, one for women and another for men.
